    Von Miller traded to the Rams.

    Wow.

    Broncos are paying most of the salary but get back a 2nd and a 3rd for a guy in the last year of his deal they weren't going to re-sign anyway.

    Rams really targetting the Super Bowl to played in their new stadium.

    Can you imagine coming up against him AND Donald. Aaron is just insanely good.

    in side notes, JJ Watt out for season; may be a dick, but was amazing for a long time on a shitty Texans team, and I kinda like the guy

    This rams team is looking pretty complete right now, doesn't feel like a bad decision for them. Especially since Miller probably signs a decent deal somewhere else next season and they'll get a compensatory pick back.

    Rams first pick in the draft will be in the 5th round... If they don't trade that away too.

    @nzzp Watt was in the same draft class as Von Miller (2011).

    Yeah with Watt out and Kyler Murray starting to get banged up I expect Rams to win the NFC West.

    I like it - good to see different models than just 'stockpile picks'. Belichek loved lower round pick, thought that was where the value was. Trading down is a thing that can work -- this is taken to the extreme, going to the free market and picking up people replaced by drafted folk i guess!

    From memory even first round picks have about a 50% bust rate. It's pretty understandable why the rams have gone this route.

    The real value of a draft pick is the cost control and the rams have done well to find decent late round picks who can contribute and allow them flexibilty.

    fucking devastated Von is gone. I understand it, but i'm devastated

    Rams defense is loaded with scary people.

    Henry being out fucks the Titans. AP is not going to fill that hole

    ... and the Titans screwed up Seahawks, Colts, Chiefs and Bills. They don't win those without Henry I reckon.

    Fark, what a loss. Loved watching him play. Hopign he comes back strong next year - if it's only a foot, hopefully no lasting effects.

    This Henry Ruggs situation is so sad.

    So avoidable.

    Innocent young lady loses her life.

    Ruggs is almost certainly heading to jail.

    If only he had taken an Uber.

    It's fucked. Everything about it.

    Can't remember an athlete in his prime throwing his career away in such a reckless, careless way. Aaron Hernandez I suppose.

    He should do 10+ years in prison.

    @mn5 Hayne was an amazing fall from grace, but it was more of a gradual series of mis-steps (criminal and professional). He didn't go off the rails quite like this.

    Yeah it's really sad for everyone involved. Young guys making terrible decisions isn't new but you do wonder how much the raiders were supporting him. He's a young guy who will have lived a pretty structured and regimented life in college suddenly living in Vegas with about $10m in the bank.

    None of that excuses what he has done and I don't blame the raiders, but I do hope that internally they reflect on whether they're doing everything they can to support rookies on what must be the biggest overnight change in any career.

    Aaron Rodgers tests positive for Covid19, and is revealed to be unvaccinated. He's hurt his team badly by having to stand down for 10 days. Along with Newton and Cousins among others, these rich QBs are bad team mates setting a bad example to the rest of their organisations

    I have no issues with him being unvaccinated. That’s his choice. Not going to debate the “good” and “bad” about vaccinations.

    My issue is him misleading the public in his conference where they asked if he was vaccinated, and he replied that yes, he is fully immunised.

    At least Kyrie had the balls to speak his truth.

    yeah "fully immunised"

    he just missed the "with essential oils and fairy dust"

    Rodgers is a shit teammate. Fucking great QB though. This has torched GBs season.

    His choice. But it's a labour issue and he knowingly didn't do what he was supposed to do. At least he could have the guts to fess up from the start and take the consequences

    The Packers should also be held accountable. They knew his status, and let him break protocols for unvaccinated players, for half the season.
    Rodgers should get a suspension, and the Packers should face fines or lose draft picks.
    This might hurt the Packers even next season.

    Can't see Rodgers doing a revenge tour ala Brady.

    You have to wonder if all the offseason drama between Rodgers and Packers played a role - that the Packers agreed to look the other way if Rodgers came back.
